The Ancient Olympics
The History of the Olympic Games
Thought to have started over 2,700 years ago in ancient Greece, the Olympic Games have a rich history but where did it all begin? Read on to find out about the first games, how they ended and the resurfacing of the modern Olympic Games.
Athlete comes from a Greek word that
means, ‘to compete for a prize.’
The Ancient Olympics
The History of the Ancient Olympic Games
The first ancient Olympic Games took place in Greece nearly three thousand years ago in 776 BC. They were held in the religious sanctuary of Olympia, a rich land surrounded by olive trees. Initially, the ancient Olympics were organised as part of a religious festival to honour the leader of the Greek gods, Zeus. He was the god of the sky and lived on Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece. In 392 AD, the Olympic Games were suspended until 1500 years later.
Zeus – The god of the sky.
The prizes for the winners were olive leaf wreaths or crowns.
The games were held every four years and featured several sporting events. They lasted five days and happened in the hottest months of the year.
Zeus is said to have travelled to Olympia from his home in Mount Olympus in 200 BC. He announced his visit by throwing his thunderbolt from Mount Olympus into Olympia. This became the setting for the first ancient Olympic Games. People travelled from all over Greece to see the Games and visit the Temple of Zeus.
How often did the games take place?
The period of four years between the Olympics is called an
‘Olympiad’
At the beginning, the games were just short foot races designed to keep Greek men fit for the intensity of war. The path for the foot races was about 700 feet long and straight.It was also wide enough for twenty men to run side by side. Only men who spoke Greek were allowed to take part in the races.
Men ran the races without any clothes on. Gradually, other events were added but there were no team sports like in the modern Olympics.
Horse races, chariot races, boxing, and wrestling were all popular events in addition to the foot races.
There was also a special event that consisted of five different sports activities: wrestling, running, the long jump, disc throwing, and spear throwing.
What events took place?
The modern Olympic truce is similar to the ancient version but encourages different nations not to wage war during the Olympic games.
Use the information you have read as well as the information from these weblinks to answer the questions on the following slides.

Wednesday 14th Activities
The Ancient Olympics
The End of the Ancient Olympic GamesThe Ancient Olympic games were held for over a thousand years and ended in 393 AD when the Roman emperor Theodosius banned them.
He had outlawed the worship of the ancient gods because of new beliefs in Christianity.
The buildings were eventually torn down and the city was buried under earthquakes and floods.
The Ancient Olympics
The Modern Olympic GamesThe modern Olympics were started in 1896 by a French educator and historian by the name of Pierre de Coubertin.
Pierre loved sports and felt that the world’s countries would have more of an opportunity for peace if they gathered together to play sports.
He designed the five color rings that are used to represent the Olympic Games today.
What are some similarities and difference between the modern and ancient Olympic Games? If you get stuck, you can find some clues here

The Olympic Rings and the Olympic Flag
Q1. Write down 3 interesting facts that you learnt about the Olympic Rings from watching the video.
Q2. Why are there five rings in the flag?
Q3. Why are the rings linked together?
Q4. What do the different colours signify?
Q5. Name some of the countries that belong to each region/colour of the flag.
What does each colour represent?
The Olympic Flame
Click on the flame to see the history of the Olympic Flame.
The Olympic Torch is a tradition that has existed for over two thousand years. It is a long vessel that is used to carry a continuously burning flame.
It represents the spirit of the Olympic games and plays an important role in the lead up to the opening ceremony.
The Olympic Torch
What is the Olympic Torch?
The Olympic Torch is a tradition that has existed for over two thousand years. It is a long vessel that is used to carry a continuously burning flame.
It represents the spirit of the Olympic games and plays an important role in the lead up to the opening ceremony.
The Olympic Torch
The Tokyo Olympics
The torch is lit in Olympia and taken to the host nation’s country. Once there, it travels around for months until reaching the opening ceremony of the games. This is known as the Olympic Torch Relay.
The Olympic torch is carried by a range of people during the relay, including professional sportspeople, politicians, musicians, students, doctors, scientists and other members of the general public.
The Olympic Torch
The Tokyo Olympics
At the end of the Tokyo Olympics Torch Relay, the Olympic Torch will be taken to Shinjuku City in Tokyo.
Like every Olympic Games before it, the torch will be used to light the cauldron during the opening ceremony. This symbolises the beginning of the Olympics.
It will burn for the entire games until it is distinguished at the closing ceremony.
Olympic Flame in a bottle STEM activity
You will need to gather a few supplies for this activity. It would be great to take some photos and share these with your teacher and class on Google Classroom.
• Plastic Water Bottle • Food Colouring • Vegetable Oil• STEM sheet from previous page – you can just answer the questions on a separate page or print out
the sheet if you have a printer.• Small Container• Measuring Spoon• Plastic Fork
1. Put 4 Tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small container.2. Next, decide what colours you want to add to the oil to create the flame (red, oranges and yellows
represent the Olympic torch best). Place about two drops of each colour they select into the container with the oil.
3. Stir the mixture lightly with a fork. When you have finished stirring, pour the mixture into a bottle that is filled to 3/4 with warm water.
4. The food colouring will slowly separate from the oil and begin to slip into the water creating flame like flickers of colour in the water.
5. The various colours of food colouring will drift down in their own flickers. They will mix together as they fall to form new colours.
Over time you may see light and darker areas of the colour. When you see the Olympic flame on T.V., you may see this too.Besides seeing the cool flame colours in the jar, you will see that the oil has stayed near the top of the bottom.
Why do the food colouring droplets fall?
The food colour drops fall into the oil in the small plastic container, but they don’t dissolve. When the mixture is poured into the water bottle, the oil stays at the top.
Oil is less dense than water.
Slowly the food colouring drops start to drop from the oil because they are heavier than the oil. As the food colouring drops make their way into the oil, they start to dissolve. This caused the flicker or explosion of colour.

Symbols of Tokyo Olympics Design and Meaning
1. Write 3 statements you have learnt about the Tokyo Olympic Logo.
1. Why do you believe the logo is important for this Olympic Games?
1. Design a new logo and explain it’s meaning in terms of bringing the world together through sport.
Click on the Tokyo Olympics logo to find out more about it’s design and meaning.
Olympic Mascots
Olympic mascots are characters, usually animals native to the area, but sometimes human figures. They represent the culture of the place where the Olympic and Paralympic games are taking place. The first Olympic games mascots appeared at the 1968 Winter Olympics.
